Detachable Tiny House Trailer | Build Tiny, Tiny House Builder, Katikati NZ

There's a lot of talk right now about detachable tiny house trailers in the community groups on Facebook, we thought it was about time we shared the innovative detachable tiny house trailer we now use on all our builds, designed and built by Bay Engineering Solutions. If you like the design, head over to their page and show them some love / besfabrication

[@LuthorvilleCA]

I have been following the tiny house concept for about 4 years now. There are a lot of very stupid ideas out there. I have to say, in 4 years of research and concepts, this is one of the most brilliant ideas I have ever seen. I've been wondering if anyone was ever going to do this. I am a huge fan of simplicity and the engineering of this is so simple and basic, it's pure genius. Bravo. Excellent work.

[@mathiasfantoni2458]

💯 agreed.

[@Pilot333]

I totally agree!!! This would make a joint buy of a trailer a good investment. When your settled with your tiny house, someone else can use the joint-trailer for any moving.

[@NMBDAD1]

Or if you had more than one tiny house....one trailer fits all

[@sirensynapse5603]

People use Wechselbrücken here in Germany in the same way: they are just a platform with removeable/foldable legs with or without hard/soft sides used to carry anything. They exist worldwide I'm sure. Buy a used one cheap, build on it, then just hire a truck to haul it. Dead easy, and insanely cheaper than a custom trailer and house platform as in this video. I can get one for €400, and the weight capacity is beyond anything you would ever need for a tiny house. The combo in the video would cost you €15k or more here. I asked one trailer maker for a quote. Only issue is they sit about 1 meter high, so height of your build is limited. I'm making a removeable roof to get around that. Worth it to save at least €14,600. :)

[@ginoferreira5193]

This has got to be the smartest idea for a trailer I've seen!! You can utilize the trailer again and again for other builds and transporting of other houses. So smart!!!

[@TabuDavidMukuha]

arguably the most brilliant yet simple idea. I love it

[@chrisball9901]

The detachable trailer is one I have been playing with. Your design is cherry. Spot on, good vid too. Thank you,

Hi! I really love this trailer design, but I'm in the US and I doubt shipping is plausible. Do you sell the specifications for this trailer design so I can have it replicated here? Thanks!

[@rompalationtrill1939]

Very slick!

[@logicalamerican]

Just build the tiny house without a trailer, then strap it to an ordinary trailer that you rent when it comes time to move it. Saves you $$$

[@waynehalliday1723]

Oh dear.....where to start with that comment

[@davidrobinson5581]

Sounds like very smart thinking to me

[@vincestagbaugh703]

Before "strapping it" to "an ordinary trailer", how are you going to lift it on to the trailer?

[@jm-bv1wh]

@@vincestagbaugh703 You could rent a crane.

[@Pilot333]

@@jm-bv1wh Renting a crane might be even more expensive than having built on the trailer to begin with. But..... If you watched this video carefully there is a more easy solution: they used these lift forks at the 1:03 mark.

[@joshua6393]

Lovely design ! Wondering how much a 7.2m trailer of this nature would cost ?

Спасибо за видео

Brilliant

[@jordymartelli440]

very good, i saw your previous youtube clips which were also good. how much for client design on your frame please

[@Tecsaco]

Hello You can use magic roof material to cover the roof, which is much more resistant and prevents the structure from shaking

[@robarteller]

awesome idea! what is the weight of the trailer and the detachable frame?

[@jfbrault5953]

Hi, congratulations on your build! Do you know of any trailer building co. in North America (Eastern Canada ideally) which produces the same type of flatbed/detachable platform galvanized steel trailer that you do? Thank you! JFB, Montreal, Que. Canada

[@dancunliffe5521]

Would you supply just the deck and chassis? If so what’s the rough cost? And is there and flex or bounce while walking on the deck when the trailer is removed?

[@alank3962]

TIP - Plz record in a sound baffled space - the echo in the room you use is annoying, difficult to listen & detracts from the presentation. Had to mute it to watch. But, I love the product! It's genius!

[@johns8600]

I would love to know the thickness of the steel frame on the house base section. It looks like 75mm/50mm but cant tell thickness. 2, 2.5, 3mm ??. does the floor have slight bounce after build

[@davidrobinson5581]

What about double glazed windows for a tiny home. Are they normal standard windows that you would put in a typical building or they different. Like normal glass or polycarbonate? Does the glass shatter when you move the building?

[@larryjayoistad3242]

For the upper th frame it appears the tube size is 2" by 3" 11 gauge. Perhaps 14 gauge? Can you say

[@chall1mk]

Are you thinking of bringing your design to the States?

Seriously light weight frame. Lots of distortion going to happen there.

[@cathyswanson71]

Do you ship to the US?

Bring to Aus pls

[@paulgreen2036]

I have had the same idea for a while I'm in California any body know where to get the jacks I haven't found anything online

[@jaffasoft8976]

Does a parts price list and specs and where ppl can purchase, suck as braking system, wheels, rims, springs, latches, jacks etc, with the plans purchase. I emailed from the web site with no response!

[@hannahrose2125]

Hi I tried to look up your Facebook page but your link wouldn’t work

[@kurtremislettmyr7108]

Are they available in Europe?

[@T1M083]

can you have it permanently on the jack stands and then just have the trailer sitting freely or does it have to have either the trailer or proper foundations? Cheers

[@maurvel8444]

You would have to counter strong winds, if it´s sitting on 4 jacks that can easely take the down force when you add in wind the weight shifts from only down force to sideways and swinging from side to side Im betting the jacks would eventually fail with catastropic results. I´m a welder/iron worker and live in Iceland and would newer jack my future tiny house off the trailer in gusty winds nor let it sit on these legs..

[@logicalamerican]

Just lower it down on some blocks. Nuff said.

[@susannalittke7343]

Hi I love the system! Can t get on that fb page you mentioned. Any other idea how to reach them please, thanks so much! Susanna

What is the maximum windth a tiny house could be made with a standard trailer?

[@sam5687]

3.1metre width i think.But they recommend 2.55m to avoid extra the hassle

Seems like those out riggers are not very heavy duty at all. I'd imagine the welds will break after years of wind beating against it

[@ginamariestevens]

Hey there, The Jacks are rated to carry 2.7 tonne each, far in excess of the total 3.5 tonne required (Max weight for a road legal tiny house in NZ is 3500kg

[@happylife174]

@@ginamariestevens i know they meet specifications im saying in real world applications those look like they would fail to provide lasting stability. I've seen out riggers for cranes with cracks along the welds that are much sturdier than those trailers jacks

[@ginamariestevens]

@@happylife174 We can assure you they are fit for purpose. They are for intermittent use, for levelling the house when first parked, and jacking the house up and off the trailer when required, they are not there to provide 'lasting stability'. Tiny homes are temporary by their very nature, and move often. For more permanent siting, the Jacks are not used whatsoever. They are simply a lifting and levelling tool. Thanks
